Rain drops
are falling
Pouring down
on unlit houses
Its droplets
trickling down
the window pane
Trees swayed
by the strong wind
Moving them
for its own amusement
Thunder roars
at the surprise
of those who slumber
Lightning flashes
brightly on the dark skies
Capturing a photograph
of the gloomy evening
A memory
of what will soon be
just another storm
in history

I am all alone
thinking about you and me
and what could've been
themisunderstood May 2020
I am not a fighter
I am not that kind of person
I don't resort to violence
I want peace for myself
I want peace for other people
I am soft but
I can't let them see it
I might be taken as a weak person
I am a friend
I am a lover
I am a son
I am a human being
I am not a fighter

Our relationship,
like mixing oil and water,
is not feasible
themisunderstood May 2020
I cried
so much
in the past
that
no tear
is falling
from my eyes
anymore
even when
the pain
is unbearable

Others wait
for the promise
of a new day

I wait
for the promise
of a good night sleep

Let us leave this world
Escape the toxicity
Never to return
